that is going up from the East Side,
weather permitting their attendance.

HOMECOMING NEXT WEEK
Featured by a gigantic homecoming
dinner in the new Tulane Gymnasium on
the night of October 28th at 7 o'clock,
the Homecoming program for 1938 is
now complete, according to E. C. Upton,
general chairman of the homecoming pro­gram.
The program opens officially on Oc­tober
24th with the medical clinics, to be
conducted by the Medical School. On
October 27th the new Tulane University
Naval R.O.T.C. unit will take part in the
Navy Day program as part of homecom­mg.
On Friday, October 28th, alumni will
register on the campus during the after­noon.
After registration they will be
conducted on tours of the campus during
which time they will have an opportunity
to view the many improvements that have
taken place during the past two years.
An attendance of 2,000 or more is ex­pected
at the Homecoming dinner. This
dinner, which is to become an annual af­fair,
will be featured by an address by
President Rufus C. Harris, who will out­line
the progress of the University and
tell of plans for the future.
Brief talks will also be made by Es­mond
Phelps, president of the Board of
Administrators; Joseph L. Killeen, presi­dent
of the Tulane Alumni Association;
Mrs. Ernest Reidel of the Newcomb
Alumnae Association; and John Sims,
president of the Student body.
The name of the alumnus to be honored
by election to the Omicron Delta Kappa
national honorary leadership fraternity
will also be announced.
4
Entertainment will be under the direc­tion
of Boutine Tobin, Newcomb campus
night director, and Bascom D. Talley, Jr.,
Tulane campus night director.
Prior to the homecoming dinner a bon­fire
and fireworks display will be held be­hind
the tennis stadium. The queen and
the maids of homecoming will be intro­duced
at this time. Members of the two
school-spirit organizations, the Green­backers
and the Tulane University Root­ers'
Club, will officiate at the homecom­ing
bonfire.
During the day Friday and Saturday all
fraternity houses on the campus will be
especially decorated for the homecoming
occasion. During the morning Saturday a
faculty committee will judge the best dec­orated
house to which the Alumni Asso­ciation
will award a trophy.
Saturday at 11 a. m. the annual meeting
of the Alumni Association will be held in
the Gold Room of the Roosevelt Hotel.
At this time the annual report will be
made by the president and new officers
will be elected.
During the half at the homecoming
game, Tulane vs. Mississippi State, the
Mississippi State and Tulane bands will
parade on the field, as will the captains of
former Tulane football teams. The Glee
Club and the Band will give a special
rendition of the Tulane Alma Mater. The
T.U.R.K. Club will present card displays
from the Mississippi State side of the sta­dium
and the Naval Unit will parade.
The program will close with the student­alumni
dance on Saturday night at 9
o'clock in the new Gymnasium.

;.
It Happened t• n 1937
MOST PUBLICIZED PREP STAR
Press lineage honors for the year went to blond Bill de Correvont.
At Soldiers Field, Chicago, more than 100,000 persons saw him carry
the Austin high school team to victory over Leo. Since then, Bill has
enrolled at Northwestern University.
JINX BROKEN
Indiana beat Illinois for the first time in 34 years, last year winning
their first game since 1903. The score was knotted at 6 all in the fourth
quarter, Indiana going on to win the game, 13 to 6.
MOST MIXED UP GAME
Two Alabama high school teams, each thinking they were to play
on the other team's field, met each other going in opposite directions,
so they decided to play the game on the spot.
MOST HONEST GAME
Wilberforce and Tuskegee called off their game, explaining they
would only lose money by playing the contest.
BRAINIEST FOOTBALL STAR
Byron "Whizzer" White, Colorado's All-American halfback who
ranked first in national scoring, garnering 122 points for his team, won
a highly-prized Rhodes scholarship to Oxford University, England.
THE SPORTS WRITERS' CHOICE
Leonislaus Josephius Frankisko Antonio Krotosynski, South Caro­lina
guard, won the affection of the press by changing his name to Leo
Kroto. Another player well remembered by the sports writers was Tin
Yon Jun On, center at North Dakota State.
UNUSUAL EPIDEMIC
At Denison (Ohio) University five players broke their noses in early
season contests.
10
"Bear" Wolf, North Carolina football
coach, says: "That Brunner is as greac a half­back
as I ever saw.·· And Bear has seen plen­ty
of brilliant backs in the Texas country be­fore
going to Carolina ... Cal's Golden Bears
are leading the major teams with points
scored, rolling up 146 to 17 for the opposition
in five games, all of which were victories.
Eighty-seven of the coral though were scored
against the Cal Aggies and College of the
Pacific.
Football is the most popular of sports with
the nation's 14-year-olds. A nation-wide sur­vey,
conducted in the junior high schools, by
the magazine YOUNG AMERICA, showed
the grid sport number one among the boys.
Baseball was sixth, wirh swimming, horse­manship,
basketball and fishing ahead of ir.
And the girls placed football even higher,
third place, and baseball the same as boys.
Remember the old days when the Auburn
band used ro play that chant "Hold 'em, Aw­bunn-
hold 'em, Aw-bunn" and later in the
same quarter it'd be the same tune with the
words "Touchdown, Aw-bunn, touchdown,
A w-bunn." The old tune still goes on and
Auburn's band will be in Georgia Tech sta­dium
Saturday playing it as the Plainsmen
students chant ir.
Deke Houlgace raced Tennessee above Ala­bama
even before the Vol vicrory over the
Crimson. He called T. C. U. the nation's
number 1 ten days ago. The Frog smash
over Texas A. & M. didn't make Mr. Ha ul­gate
look so bad either.
Howard Jones, Southern Cal coach, believes
officials should have to see complete movies
of all games they work. " It'd keep 'em on
their roes," he says.
Tulane was the consensus selection of the

Owls.
Freshmen football candidates are our m
great numbers at the University of T exas.
They used nine frosh reams against Seguin
College recently. University of Cal's expenses
in connection with the playing of the Rose
Bowl game lase New Year's totaled more
than S24,000 (says the Los Angeles Exam­iner)
which ain't hay. Cal's check from Pas­adena
was $104,129.94 but they also paid the
Pacific Coast Conference S20,000 as the Con­ference
cu r, leaving Berkeley a net of $60,-

COOKED RICE!
Pardon our harping on what is probably a rather
sore subject with Mr. Kirts of Rice, bur chen can
you blame us? Afrer all who ever thought anybody,
Tulane nor included, could hang it on the Owls ro
that merry rune of four rouchdowns? And chen
when our own aggregation, the Olive and Blue,
did the crick, we were unable ro restrain ourselves.
We will try and nor bore you with any of rhe well
known derails, bur there is one li trle point that is
worrhy of memory while all of us are shouting
abour rhe runs and passes, ere. Do any of you good
people happen to recall char much berrer chan fair
goal line stand that the Wave pur on early in rhe
initial period? Friends, that was real footba ll, and
maybe we are off a lirrle, bur char "they shall nor
pass" defense was one of those things ro warm a
coach's heart. Ir is things like char which give the
defender the highest of hope. It also breaks the
spirit of the arracker. Although the Owls scored
rwo markers later in rhe conresr rhey were ar a loss
ro cross the Tulane goal during the first half. And
when they had rhe ball close co that goal, shortly
after their unsuccessful attempt menrioned above,
they elected to try a place-kick, rather than rake any
more chances on nor scoring through or over the
Tulane eleven. The Wave's goal line srand had
slowed their offense completely when in striking
distance, and the Owls figured that a field goal
would be a margin of victory. Of course all of this
rook place before char Green Wave arrack got so
hot. So while we are all calking about the won­derful
offense, and ic was great, lee's don't fo rger
char first and lase stand.
THE CONFERENCE PICTURE:
With Tennessee stemming rhe once mighty T ide
of Alabama in such decisive fashion, things are
getting ro be much more democratic in chis league.
Yes indeed, everybody is just abom as good as his
neighbor now, and the net result of all char is a
first class ross-up as co rhe winner of the confer­ence
crown. Of course there will probably be no
more chan duee reams ar the most which will in
the final analysis look like championship outfits,
bur at chis somewhat early dare who can cell. The
present favo rite, Tennessee, has no easy road ahead
of it, and such clubs as Vandy, Georgia Tech,
L.S.U., Tulane and 'Barna are still very much in the
running.
This week-end will help ro clear up some of the
confusion, thanks ro the game at Baron Rouge and
14
Atlanta. In the former, the Tigers of L. S. U.
will play hose ro rhe Vanderbilt Commodores. And
over in Georgia the Auburn Plainsmen invade the
nesr of Yellow Jackets ar Tech. All parties con­cerned
should have a very interesting afternoon
or night whichever ir may be.
lf Louisiana Stare, wichour rhe services of their
ace passer, Bussey, can trim d1e Commodores chen
they will be right back in rhe hear of rhe league
fight. For the only smear on their circuit record is
a loss co Ole Miss, and one loss or a rie may nor
hold anybody back mis season. Auburn is fairly
well our of ir, wirh a rie and a loss ar mis early
dare, bur a win over Tech would ser rhe Jackets
back no end. That game will probably be one of
rhe best of the season. Vandy is no sure th ing ro
beat the T igers, as their record mus far is certain ly
nothing co shout about. Yet they may just be get­ting
underway, and you all know whar Ray Morri­son
does ro L. S. U.
MUSINGS:
Every year about this rime, or for that matter al­most
any rime during the grid season, rhe national
hue and cry is raised about rhe many and varied
evils of the great collegiate game. People all over
our land are complaining about this and char which
ails the football game as played by me hundreds
of colleges from coast to coasr. Bur, when the
cumulc has died down again you can hear them
saying how g lad they will be for rhe next season
co turn the corner.
Among the many complaints are such as football
is becoming a big business; all of the players are
hired co play; universities are forgetting education
in a mad effort to make all of the money they ca:n
our of their football reams; the spores writers and
publicity men are a crew of ballyhoo artists who
endeavor co crowd the immense stands every Satur­day
just tO help fill the amletic council's financial
melting poe. These and many more are thrown
about from mouth co mouth as an annual affair
And when it is all over everybody is just one big
happy family. Of course there may be some dif­ference
of opinion as co what ream was the best
in irs secror or in the entire country, and who should
have been put on the all-American ream, bur what is
all of this if it isn't the average American's natural
interest in the game. Complaints will come and
complaints will go, but it is still the greatest game
in me land, and as long as it remains as such it
wiH continue co be the idol of the people. So
here's co rhe last half of rhe season yec.

The All-American Scene
What started as a harmless hobby for one man more than fifty
years ago has now become a national plague.
Caspar Whitney had the excellent idea of picking the eleven best
football rnen. This idea was developed by Walter Camp who chose
the first All-American team in 1889 for Harper's. In those days the
players were chosen only from Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Pennsyl­vania.
Nowadays the selections are made from hundreds of colleges, with
everyone who can count to eleven trying his luck at picking the country's
gridiron greats. Today a thousand and one All-American teams are
annually hurled at the unsuspecting public with an all-consensus team
as the final mark of merit.
As if it were not enough, All-Jewish, All-Negro, All-Anderson,
All-Opponent and All-Beautiful teams are also chosen. Last year, a
new high was reached when inmates in two of the country's biggest
prisons took a hearty interest in this rapidly growing sport. Being in­doors
and having lots of leisure time, these guests of the State felt their
selections should be valid because they were free from prejudice.
One of the latest All-American wrinkles to appear on the horizon
is not to name the best eleven but to name those who excel in some
department. Last year John Meek was rated tops as a defensive back,
Bob Herwig as the best pass defending lineman, and Vard Stockton as
the country's star running guard. All three played on California's great
Rose Bow 1 team.
During these 49 years of All-Americans, there have been only two
football players who have won the honor for three straight years­Benny
Oosterbaan, who caught Benny Friedman's passes at Michigan
in L925-26-27, and Red Cagle, Army halfback, in 1927-28-29.

DID YOU KNOW THAT-BLOCKING-
Blocking is the obstruction
of an opponent by a player bringing his body
into contact with a player of the opposing
team.
CLIPPING- Clipping is blocking by run­ning
or diving into the back, or throwing or
dropping the body across rhe back of the leg
or legs, of a player not carrying the ball.
FAIR CATCH- A Fair Catch is made on
Kickoff, Free Kick, Return Kick, or when the
ball has been kicked beyond the line of scrim­mage,
and any player of the team which did
not kick it, who has signaled his intention of
making a fair catch by raising one hand only,
clearly above his head, catches the ball before
it couches the ground, and does not cake more
chan cwo seeps after n1aking the catch.
CRAWLING- Crawling is an attempt by
the player in possession of the ball to advance

The film magnate was describing his
latest picture.
"My boy," he said, "it's tremendous!
It's magnificent! It's mastadonic! It's
mediocre!"
Lady in car (to man she has bowled
over): "It was your own fault entirely.
I have been driving a car for ten years,
and I am thoroughly experienced."
Pedestrian: "I am not a beginner,
either, I've been walking for fifty years."
She said she had "turned twenty-three;"
I've noticed that many girls do;
If you turn twenty-three it is easy to see,
The answer is just "thirty-two."
"My dorter is goin' to play Beethoven
tonight."
"I 'ope she wins."
Tommy had always been much afraid
of dogs. One day, after a struggle to get
him to pass a large dog which stood on
the corner, his mother scolded him for
his unnecessary fear.
"Well," was the reply, "you'd be
afraid of dogs if you was as low down as
I am."

dinner in the new Tulane Gymnasium on
the night of October 28th at 7 o'clock,
the Homecoming program for 1938 is
now complete, according to E. C. Upton,
general chairman of the homecoming pro­gram.
The program opens officially on Oc­tober

conducted by the Medical School. On
October 27th the new Tulane University
Naval R.O.T.C. unit will take part in the
Navy Day program as part of homecom­mg.
On Friday, October 28th, alumni will
register on the campus during the after­noon.
After registration they will be
conducted on tours of the campus during
which time they will have an opportunity
to view the many improvements that have
taken place during the past two years.
An attendance of 2,000 or more is ex­pected
at the Homecoming dinner. This
dinner, which is to become an annual af­fair,
will be featured by an address by
President Rufus C. Harris, who will out­line
the progress of the University and
tell of plans for the future.
Brief talks will also be made by Es­mond
Phelps, president of the Board of
Administrators; Joseph L. Killeen, presi­dent
of the Tulane Alumni Association;
Mrs. Ernest Reidel of the Newcomb
Alumnae Association; and John Sims,
president of the Student body.
The name of the alumnus to be honored
by election to the Omicron Delta Kappa
national honorary leadership fraternity
will also be announced.

Entertainment will be under the direc­tion
of Boutine Tobin, Newcomb campus
night director, and Bascom D. Talley, Jr.,
Tulane campus night director.
Prior to the homecoming dinner a bon­fire
and fireworks display will be held be­hind
the tennis stadium. The queen and
the maids of homecoming will be intro­duced
at this time. Members of the two
school-spirit organizations, the Green­backers
and the Tulane University Root­ers'
Club, will officiate at the homecom­ing
bonfire.
During the day Friday and Saturday all
fraternity houses on the campus will be
especially decorated for the homecoming
occasion. During the morning Saturday a
faculty committee will judge the best dec­orated
house to which the Alumni Asso­ciation
will award a trophy.
Saturday at 11 a. m. the annual meeting
of the Alumni Association will be held in
the Gold Room of the Roosevelt Hotel.
At this time the annual report will be
made by the president and new officers
will be elected.
During the half at the homecoming
game, Tulane vs. Mississippi State, the
Mississippi State and Tulane bands will
parade on the field, as will the captains of
former Tulane football teams. The Glee
Club and the Band will give a special
rendition of the Tulane Alma Mater. The
T.U.R.K. Club will present card displays
from the Mississippi State side of the sta­dium
and the Naval Unit will parade.

Season's Highlights
;.
It Happened t• n 1937
MOST PUBLICIZED PREP STAR
Press lineage honors for the year went to blond Bill de Correvont.
At Soldiers Field, Chicago, more than 100,000 persons saw him carry
the Austin high school team to victory over Leo. Since then, Bill has
enrolled at Northwestern University.
JINX BROKEN
Indiana beat Illinois for the first time in 34 years, last year winning
their first game since 1903. The score was knotted at 6 all in the fourth
quarter, Indiana going on to win the game, 13 to 6.
MOST MIXED UP GAME
Two Alabama high school teams, each thinking they were to play
on the other team's field, met each other going in opposite directions,
so they decided to play the game on the spot.
MOST HONEST GAME
Wilberforce and Tuskegee called off their game, explaining they
would only lose money by playing the contest.
BRAINIEST FOOTBALL STAR
Byron "Whizzer" White, Colorado's All-American halfback who
ranked first in national scoring, garnering 122 points for his team, won
a highly-prized Rhodes scholarship to Oxford University, England.
THE SPORTS WRITERS' CHOICE
Leonislaus Josephius Frankisko Antonio Krotosynski, South Caro­lina
guard, won the affection of the press by changing his name to Leo
Kroto. Another player well remembered by the sports writers was Tin
Yon Jun On, center at North Dakota State.
UNUSUAL EPIDEMIC
At Denison (Ohio) University five players broke their noses in early
season contests.

"Bear" Wolf, North Carolina football
coach, says: "That Brunner is as greac a half­back
as I ever saw.·· And Bear has seen plen­ty
of brilliant backs in the Texas country be­fore
going to Carolina ... Cal's Golden Bears
are leading the major teams with points
scored, rolling up 146 to 17 for the opposition
in five games, all of which were victories.
Eighty-seven of the coral though were scored
against the Cal Aggies and College of the
Pacific.
Football is the most popular of sports with
the nation's 14-year-olds. A nation-wide sur­vey,
conducted in the junior high schools, by
the magazine YOUNG AMERICA, showed
the grid sport number one among the boys.
Baseball was sixth, wirh swimming, horse­manship,
basketball and fishing ahead of ir.
And the girls placed football even higher,
third place, and baseball the same as boys.
Remember the old days when the Auburn
band used ro play that chant "Hold 'em, Aw­bunn-
hold 'em, Aw-bunn" and later in the
same quarter it'd be the same tune with the
words "Touchdown, Aw-bunn, touchdown,
A w-bunn." The old tune still goes on and
Auburn's band will be in Georgia Tech sta­dium
Saturday playing it as the Plainsmen
students chant ir.
Deke Houlgace raced Tennessee above Ala­bama
even before the Vol vicrory over the
Crimson. He called T. C. U. the nation's
number 1 ten days ago. The Frog smash
over Texas A. & M. didn't make Mr. Ha ul­gate
look so bad either.
Howard Jones, Southern Cal coach, believes
officials should have to see complete movies
of all games they work. " It'd keep 'em on
their roes," he says.
Tulane was the consensus selection of the

ON liiHIE IR.AJIIL By C. Lee Jl1cMillan
COOKED RICE!
Pardon our harping on what is probably a rather
sore subject with Mr. Kirts of Rice, bur chen can
you blame us? Afrer all who ever thought anybody,
Tulane nor included, could hang it on the Owls ro
that merry rune of four rouchdowns? And chen
when our own aggregation, the Olive and Blue,
did the crick, we were unable ro restrain ourselves.
We will try and nor bore you with any of rhe well
known derails, bur there is one li trle point that is
worrhy of memory while all of us are shouting
abour rhe runs and passes, ere. Do any of you good
people happen to recall char much berrer chan fair
goal line stand that the Wave pur on early in rhe
initial period? Friends, that was real footba ll, and
maybe we are off a lirrle, bur char "they shall nor
pass" defense was one of those things ro warm a
coach's heart. Ir is things like char which give the
defender the highest of hope. It also breaks the
spirit of the arracker. Although the Owls scored
rwo markers later in rhe conresr rhey were ar a loss
ro cross the Tulane goal during the first half. And
when they had rhe ball close co that goal, shortly
after their unsuccessful attempt menrioned above,
they elected to try a place-kick, rather than rake any
more chances on nor scoring through or over the
Tulane eleven. The Wave's goal line srand had
slowed their offense completely when in striking
distance, and the Owls figured that a field goal
would be a margin of victory. Of course all of this
rook place before char Green Wave arrack got so
hot. So while we are all calking about the won­derful
offense, and ic was great, lee's don't fo rger
char first and lase stand.
THE CONFERENCE PICTURE:
With Tennessee stemming rhe once mighty T ide
of Alabama in such decisive fashion, things are
getting ro be much more democratic in chis league.
Yes indeed, everybody is just abom as good as his
neighbor now, and the net result of all char is a
first class ross-up as co rhe winner of the confer­ence
crown. Of course there will probably be no
more chan duee reams ar the most which will in
the final analysis look like championship outfits,
bur at chis somewhat early dare who can cell. The
present favo rite, Tennessee, has no easy road ahead
of it, and such clubs as Vandy, Georgia Tech,
L.S.U., Tulane and 'Barna are still very much in the
running.
This week-end will help ro clear up some of the
confusion, thanks ro the game at Baron Rouge and
14
Atlanta. In the former, the Tigers of L. S. U.
will play hose ro rhe Vanderbilt Commodores. And
over in Georgia the Auburn Plainsmen invade the
nesr of Yellow Jackets ar Tech. All parties con­cerned
should have a very interesting afternoon
or night whichever ir may be.
lf Louisiana Stare, wichour rhe services of their
ace passer, Bussey, can trim d1e Commodores chen
they will be right back in rhe hear of rhe league
fight. For the only smear on their circuit record is
a loss co Ole Miss, and one loss or a rie may nor
hold anybody back mis season. Auburn is fairly
well our of ir, wirh a rie and a loss ar mis early
dare, bur a win over Tech would ser rhe Jackets
back no end. That game will probably be one of
rhe best of the season. Vandy is no sure th ing ro
beat the T igers, as their record mus far is certain ly
nothing co shout about. Yet they may just be get­ting
underway, and you all know whar Ray Morri­son
does ro L. S. U.
MUSINGS:
Every year about this rime, or for that matter al­most
any rime during the grid season, rhe national
hue and cry is raised about rhe many and varied
evils of the great collegiate game. People all over
our land are complaining about this and char which
ails the football game as played by me hundreds
of colleges from coast to coasr. Bur, when the
cumulc has died down again you can hear them
saying how g lad they will be for rhe next season
co turn the corner.
Among the many complaints are such as football
is becoming a big business; all of the players are
hired co play; universities are forgetting education
in a mad effort to make all of the money they ca:n
our of their football reams; the spores writers and
publicity men are a crew of ballyhoo artists who
endeavor co crowd the immense stands every Satur­day
just tO help fill the amletic council's financial
melting poe. These and many more are thrown
about from mouth co mouth as an annual affair
And when it is all over everybody is just one big
happy family. Of course there may be some dif­ference
of opinion as co what ream was the best
in irs secror or in the entire country, and who should
have been put on the all-American ream, bur what is
all of this if it isn't the average American's natural
interest in the game. Complaints will come and
complaints will go, but it is still the greatest game
in me land, and as long as it remains as such it
wiH continue co be the idol of the people. So
here's co rhe last half of rhe season yec.

The All-American Scene
What started as a harmless hobby for one man more than fifty
years ago has now become a national plague.
Caspar Whitney had the excellent idea of picking the eleven best
football rnen. This idea was developed by Walter Camp who chose
the first All-American team in 1889 for Harper's. In those days the
players were chosen only from Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Pennsyl­vania.
Nowadays the selections are made from hundreds of colleges, with
everyone who can count to eleven trying his luck at picking the country's
gridiron greats. Today a thousand and one All-American teams are
annually hurled at the unsuspecting public with an all-consensus team
as the final mark of merit.
As if it were not enough, All-Jewish, All-Negro, All-Anderson,
All-Opponent and All-Beautiful teams are also chosen. Last year, a
new high was reached when inmates in two of the country's biggest
prisons took a hearty interest in this rapidly growing sport. Being in­doors
and having lots of leisure time, these guests of the State felt their
selections should be valid because they were free from prejudice.
One of the latest All-American wrinkles to appear on the horizon
is not to name the best eleven but to name those who excel in some
department. Last year John Meek was rated tops as a defensive back,
Bob Herwig as the best pass defending lineman, and Vard Stockton as
the country's star running guard. All three played on California's great
Rose Bow 1 team.
During these 49 years of All-Americans, there have been only two
football players who have won the honor for three straight years­Benny
Oosterbaan, who caught Benny Friedman's passes at Michigan
in L925-26-27, and Red Cagle, Army halfback, in 1927-28-29.
